from the apt-get manual page:

[...]
       -y

       --yes

       --assume-yes
	      Automatic  yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts
	      and run non-interactively. If an undesirable situation, such  as
	      changing	a held package or removing an essential package occurs
	      then apt-get will abort.	Configuration Item:  APT::Get::Assume-
	      Yes.

[...]

be sure to also "dpkg-reconfigure debconf" and set it to not ask trivial
questions.

cron-apt is a package to automate apt-get handling via cron. it could
assist you in setting up automatic security upgrades.
